I think it reacts to the lights or something. So won't be all spangly until the turn the lights on.*

*This is probably rubbish. I'm smashed.

All will no doubt be revealed when the lights come on.

Can't see any mega output lights on the bikes or pedal reflectors...

If that's true, he must, MUST strike some disco moves in a LMNH kind of way!

Is it me or does it look like Sky are helping Omega a little? Certainly seem to be shielding Cav a little.

Cheers

So, I've established the road construction but what about the gradient. It looks flat but is it?

Allez Cav

Really ? Fascinating stuff, perhaps Liggett and Sherwen should let us know about that. 😉

I wonder if there's a particular bit of the road which is smoother than the rest?

Did anyone hear BES say how the Cat system came about a day or two ago?

They were doing the majority of the chasing early doors and they don't have any particular cause to.

LOL @ allthepies. 🙂

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest; Peter Kennaugh is a fellow Manxman and pretty much every other Sky team member was there with Cav last year.

Only downside of course is that the leadout needs to be PERFECT and well practised and Cav may not actually appreciate their direct help if it screws up a leadout he's practised with OPQS.

Do you think we'll have another live rendition of the national anthem. It was definitely a highlight last year.

Nothing to stop them getting in other people's way though, and saving their legs early on...

"For Froome the bell tolls" very good!

I know they have previous, but surely ITV could hold off adverts for 30mins?
